The Giants head south for the weekend, hoping that some fun in the sun is enough to rejuvenate them and salvage the season. However, the task isn't easy, as Big Blue takes on the high-flying Dolphins, owners of one of the NFL's best offenses. We're long past free medium Pepsi territory for the fans that pour thousands into a once-proud franchise that's become an embarrassment this season. We might be in extra large Pepsi territory in true American supersizing fashion.
This one is on the road, though, so fans are left to boo their televisions with a two-liter bottle of their favorite soft drink instead, flipping burgers and hot dogs on the grill since that's all the fans are apparently qualified to speak on. Meanwhile, the team is terrible in all three phases, and their tank is moving nicely along to Detroit, home of the 2024 NFL Draft, when the organization hopes to find some new reinforcements.
If nothing else, Sunday's contest represents the perfect get-right spot for the Dolphins after a reality check in Buffalo. The talk has cooled on the former MVP frontrunner, Tua Tagovailoa, who lost the top spot on the odds board to Josh Allen in the immediate aftermath of Miami's western New York disaster. Regardless, this game should come with a content warning and the old-fashioned Madden style, "Would you like to concede?" Any given Sunday though, right? The bright side is that we can get something beneficial out of this -- money. So, let's head over to SuperDraft to find some player props to pad our accounts in early October.
SuperDraft users can win 3X the amount wagered if their two-legged player prop parlay hits. If all four of the props below hit, users will win 10x their entry. In other words, a $20 entry fee will yield a $200 payout. the more legs you add to your player prop parlay, the larger your potential payout becomes, but as the long odds indicate, completing a clean sweep is challenging.
Below, we'll break down four of our favorite SuperDraft player props for the Sunday afternoon clash between the Giants and Dolphins. Users don't necessarily have to parlay all four picks together, though. Instead, you could make separate two-legged parlays to increase your win probability or attempt to hit it big if all three picks come through.

Best Giants-Dolphins prop bets: SuperDraft player prop picks for Week 5
*10x potential payout if users parlay all four correct picks
1. Tyreek Hill, WR, Dolphins — OVER 88.5 receiving yards
The Giants couldn't stop a nosebleed right now, so do you really think they'll be able to contain the fastest receiver in the league? Didn't think so. As long as the Giants' defense continues to accept taking a beating and not cry "uncle," we are left going back to the well for more. Hill is part of the track team in football pads, wreaking havoc week in and week out. If you're a fan of patterns, Hill has alternated good weeks and bad for his standards. The Bills forced him into a bad week and were the only team to keep Hill out of the end zone, a place we believe he'll return to in Week 5. The Giants are the fourth-worst pass defense, according to Pro Football Focus, and are the third-worst tackling team. If Big Blue couldn't stop a Drew Lock-led offense that nearly scored a touchdown with the lumbering Noah Fant tightroping down the sideline, we can only imagine what Hill will do to them. He's a matchup nightmare for every team and is part of the reason Wink Martindale has his work cut out for him. At least he's sleeping like a baby, though.

2. Daniel Jones, QB, Giants — OVER 37.5 rushing yards
Jones doesn't stand a chance behind the Giants' offensive line, and the stench coming from that group up front puts even the New York City subways to shame. They’re ranked No. 31 in both pass and run blocking, per PFF. Sure is a good thing he has "professionals" protecting him instead of those "hot dog flippers," as Evan Neal would say, huh? Unfortunately for Neal, no one flips hot dogs -- just like he doesn't block anyone on the other team. (His own team, though...that's a different story.) As long as the turnstiles in front of the Giants’ quarterback continue to let defenses come through without much resistance, it’s on Jones to escape with his legs. He's gone well OVER this number in three of four games, averaging 43.3 rushing yards per outing. Defenses have a hard time keeping up with him, which means we're taking the OVER with confidence.
3. Darren Waller, TE, Giants — UNDER 41.5 receiving yards
Waller is getting in quite the cardio session this year. He's played 209 snaps and has run a route on 133 of them, per PFF. Through four weeks, the prized acquisition from the Giants offseason has a grand total of 15 receptions. Granted, Jones hasn't been good and Waller's been open at times, but this connection is worse than your old 3G Motorola phone trying to Google something in rural America.
The tight end that profiles more as a receiver is averaging 38.3 yards per game in 2023, but that number is inflated thanks to a 76-yard performance in Week 2. Take out that one outlier game and the average falls to 25.7 yards, which is more of what we should expect from Big Blue going forward until they prove otherwise. Brian Daboll has a lot of problems to solve in a short amount of time, and since his team will want to rely on the run to keep Miami's offense off the field, this is not Waller's week.

4. Jason Sanders, K, Dolphins — OVER 7.5 points
One of the best offenses in the league nearly always finds itself in position to score touchdowns. That usually spells doom for the kicker, but Sanders is two-for-four this season in besting this number. Our most realistic, and most likely, chance to hit this prop is with Sanders nailing two field goals and two extra points.
Kickers are 3-1 against this number when facing the Giants this season. The only loss came off the foot of Jason Myers, who missed a field goal in the Seahawks dominating win on Monday night. Sanders hasn't attempted anything other than an extra point in back-to-back weeks, but the Giants are giving up an average of nine kicking points per game, fourth-most in the league. Sanders should get back to his kicking ways as the Dolphins return home this weekend.
